Last month a customer/supplier of printed digital labels contacted us for assistance on an application to apply labels to whiskey and vodka bottles for a start-up micro distillery. Hand applying labels to the front and back of the bottle was a tedious and inconsistent process that was adding a significant amount of laber cost to their process. The volume was not enough to warrant an inline high speed application, due the batch size of each distilled spirit; also the bottle was taper styled glass container.

Packaging Solutions for Bottle Labeling

The solution was a table top label applicator, the Bottle-Matic II from Dispensa-Matic. This applicator is fully adjustable to handle both cylindrical and taper styled bottles and has the capability to apply one or two labels to the bottle. The production speed of the label applicator was more than enough to handle the filling and processing speed of the project and the customers requirements.

Strapping and Banding packaging equipment is generally used to secure two items or a group of products together. The most common packaging material is either polypropylene or polyester strap. Strapping is a great unitizing method and can be used for very heavy loads like engine blocks. Delicate smaller applications like stacks of printed paper utilize paper or oriented polypropylene banding. Strapping and Banding equipment can be broken down into two basic categories: Manual and Automatic.

Manual Strapping & Banding Machines

Manual strapping and banding equipment, as the name implies, requires the operator to collate the product, Place it on the machine and cycle the equipment. Many large or awkward loads require manual packaging. Speed is going to be product and operator dependent.

Automatic Strapping & Banding Machines

Automatic strapping and banding equipment is less labor intensive and can be easily configured in-line as long as the product will convey together. Speed can exceed 50 straps per minute and multiple straps can be applied to one package.
